Kris Bernal: Single and blessed

Actors Kris Bernal and Carl Guevarra once referred to their relationship as “special.” Before anyone could even ask what it meant, the two already announced that they have parted ways.

In an interview, Kris divulged that she is yet to fully move on from the split, relating how she dated Carl exclusively for roughly two years.

Asked why their relationship was cut short, she explained, “May ugali siya, may ugali ako na hindi lang talaga nagakakasundo, na kahit pinagusapan na namin, binigyan na namin ng space, binigyan na namin ng time, hindi na talaga maayos. Napagaawayan na ‘yung napakaliliit na bagay.”

Looking back, the actress noted that doing away with labels didn’t help their relationship any.

In order to deal with heartache, Kris is putting her focus on a number of activities including pole dancing lessons, speech classes and voice modulation workshops.

“Para hindi ko siya iniisip, hindi ko siya pino-problema,” she explained.

Although she clarifies that she harbors no ill-feelings towards Carl, whom she describes as “loving, sweet and mabait,” Kris nevertheless avoids communicating with the actor.

She is not looking forward to finding new love, and has even turned down invitations from a few suitors. “Sa ngayon, hindi pa ako talaga ready ma-in love kasi hindi naman ako basta-basta na porket single, go na.”

If there’s one lesson the “StarStruck” alum learned from her ill-fated relationship with Carl, it’s this: “’Wag mong pilitin baguhin ang isang tao. Kung hindi niya kayang magbago para sa ‘yo, it’s either tanggapin mo na lang ‘yun or alisin mo siya sa buhay mo.”

Missing Aljur

In the same interview, Kris addressed the issue about former love team partner Aljur Abrenica legally seeking recession of his contract with GMA-7.

The matter came as a shock hock to her. It came to that point that, “Para akong sira kapag nare-realize ko na hindi ko na hindi ko na siya makaka-partner ulit, naiiyak ako. Ang sakit.”

Nevertheless, Kris knows she is in no position to judge Aljur and his decision. “Hindi ko alam ’yung pinagdaanan nung career niya, eh, hindi ko nararamdaman kung anong nararamdaman niya.”

She could only wish him well, she said, and believes he would eventually be able to bounce back soon enough.

Sweetheart no more

After portraying teenybopper roles, Kris will be seen in a more mature outing via the GMA-7 series “Hiram na Alaala,” co-starring Rocco Nacino and Dennis Trillo.

Kris will play the role of Andrea Dizon, a registered nurse who will fall in love with Ivan (Dennis) who reminds her of Joseph (Rocco), her missing lover.

“Heavy drama ito. Halos lahat ng eksena ko umiiyak ako,” she shared.

Directed by Dominic Zapata, “Hiram na Alala” will air this September on GMA-7.
